First aid Made Nov 13, 2017, sent to the company Feb 28, 2018, published by CPSC Mar 14, 2018
The product, in the report: BOSCH GAS Clothes dryer Model: WTVC4500UC/10 FE9007 300096
I have a 6 yr old BOSCH gas clothes dryer with the following characteristics: Model: WTVC4500UC/10; FD9007 300096 When I came back home, the whole house smelled gas very bad to the point, I could not breathe. I called the Gas Company of my area (National Grid, Quincy MA 02171) and they identified the leak to be coming from inside the BOSCH dryer while the dryer was completely off and not in use. The technician explained to me that likely the Bosch gas release valve was defective and was allowing gas to get in, while the dryer was off.
This was an extremely dangerous situation as the whole house could have blown up as the levels of gas very high or my family could have suffocated.
